You just start ignoring people... especially when they ask you - what did you do on the weekends, and you're like - erhhh... study?

 

[bong]

lol *oh fuck*

 

[flyin']

I was just kiddin'... It depends how you manage your time, and what you want from first year. HDs, Ds, Crs, Ps, CPs...

 

[bong]

credits are a minimum of course,

as to D's or HD's... lol, "we'll see"

 

[flyin']

No, you only need Crs in ACST101, STAT171, ACCG105 and ECON111 from first year. All you need is to Pass the rest.

 

[bong]

yeah, but i want a minimum credit in all of them

 

[flyin']

It's a good habit to get into, besides everything else. People who get Passes have a habit of doing so (or worse) when Credits are needed.

 

[bong]

hmm, actually, on average, how many % will get HD's, D's, and so on?

 

[flyin']

Well, I'm not too sure... but they vary markedly each year and depending on each subject.

 

[bong]

lol, sorta knew that was coming, but wanted to ask anyway

doesnt matter!

 

[flyin']

Just ask two specific units... and I'll give you estimates as to the breakdown.

 

[iambored]

i asked the stat guy. he said an eg. for HD is
stat170 - 10 / 1000 = 1%
stat171 - 10/100 = 10%

so in other words it depends on the lecturer, difficulty of the course etc.

 

[bong]

lol, name one or two that u have a good estimate on?

 

[flyin']

Well, I'm just estimatin' anyway... name two, and quickly because I'm gone very soon.

 

[bong]

asct101 and stat171?

 

[flyin']

You chose the dodgy ones... Should've picked 211 and 133 (but I'm not going to do them now )

ACST101 (Semester II): ~650 candidates
HD: Less than 10%
D: Between 10 to 20%
Cr: Between 20-30%
P: Over 50%
PC, F: Less than 10%?

STAT171: ~200+ candidates
HD: 5-10%
D: 10-25%
C: 20-30%
P: 40-50%
PC, F: 10-20% (In the past it was more like 20%... but changes to 211 might have reduced it.)

 

[bong]

ahh come on, you're still online

edit: but im doing ast101 in sem1... so they about the same?

 

[flyin']

Ah... stuff this, I'll do 211 before I sleep; I think I'm closer to the money on this one, anyway

Candidature: ~180

HD: ~5%
D: ~10%
Cr: ~20%
P: ~60%
PC,F: ~10%

I'd say, D and Cr could each be slightly less.

...

So that means that 50-70% of people have to redo the unit?

edit: ok, maybe less cos there are people other than actuaries doing it, but still, that's heaps.

 

[flyin']

Well, let's just say... they're (probably going to be) more lenient and when I wrote 200+ candidates... that meant that they were many non-Actuarials who did the unit. Actuarials tend to do much better.


Well, the figures I posted for 171 are probably more true for previous year... in my year they had few people F and P... but those that did Pass rarely got anything more than a P in 211 and many Failed it.

bong, semester one, ACST101 is much easier in terms of marks... for example, I beat the guy, who got on the Merit List in 101 in semester 1 (w 90+ mark in 101), in 211... but only just managed a D in 101 in semester 2.
